Document Summary

Fat - 5-40: varies with cut of meat, species of animal, age of animal and type of feed. Iron: heme type small % but good source, readily absorbed. B-vitamins: niacin - excellent source, riboflavin - excellent source, thiamin - good source. Contractile muscle/flesh of meat: sarcoplasmic (responsible for. Sarcoplasm: water (75%, minerals (iron, phosphorus, enzymes (found in mitochondria, b-vitamins, myofibrils about 2000 in each muscle fibre. Mixture of thick and thin filaments (myosin and actin protein, respectively) Endomysium connective tissue (on top), sarcolemma membrane (in middle), muscle fibre (on bottom) Two proteins found in sarcoplasm of muscle fibres: myosin (thick filaments, actin (thin filaments, heat causes denaturation and coagulation. Over-heating causes over-coagulation: results in tough meat. Over-coagulated muscle fibre proteins (actin and myosin) shrink and squeeze out water: results in dry meat. Two proteins found in several locations within muscle structure: collagen important role in determining tenderness.
